"Ogawa-kun, I didn't hear what you just said!"
Wakiitajiro's tone was cold.
In fact, that expression is just: Brother gives you a chance to reorganize your language.
Who knows that there are people in this world who can be officials, and there are also those who cannot be officials.
The Japanese captain hesitated for a moment, but still resisted his superior's visible lust, no, anger, and bravely reported carefully: "Your Excellency, the Wing Commander, the Wing Artillery Squadron requested to stop the bombardment. The Chinese mortars have long been...
....”
Although he didn't explain it clearly, the general idea was: Brother, our current shelling is meaningless, don't you think the Chinese won't play with us?
"Captain Ogawa, when did the wing headquarters need the artillery squadron for tactical guidance?" Wakiitajiro's face was so dark that he almost caught up with the fisherman major, and his tone was like the north wind in March in the cold winter, so cold that it could almost blow away the wind.
Ice slag.
The Japanese captain lowered his head, but did not dare to say another word.
No matter how incompetent he is as an official, this person can still hear the eagerness of the captain to kill someone.
However, it was impossible to let him go, because he had a cannon, but it was almost out of ammunition.
"Your Excellency, Wing Commander, Captain Ogawa called half an hour ago to report that their artillery shell reserves are almost exhausted." Lieutenant Colonel Makino Toshi, the deputy wing commander on the other side, helped to relieve the siege.
"Then what is the baggage squadron of the wing headquarters doing? Didn't we order them to go to the division yesterday to speed up the transportation of important baggage?" Jiro Wakibata somewhat knew the reason for this, so he simply directed his anger at the baggage squadron that was not present.
"They have set off at six o'clock. Judging from the time, it should be almost here." The Japanese lieutenant colonel, who had always been suppressed by Wakiitajiro and had a very low presence, and was usually only responsible for the logistics of the baggage, reported quickly.
He knew that his immediate boss was on the verge of losing control, and he was unwilling to become a victim of his anger.
Jiro Wakita, who tried his best to suppress his anger, stopped talking, picked up the binoculars again and looked ahead for a while, then turned back to the Japanese captain who was still standing there with his head fixed and said:
"Captain Ogawa, I reiterate the military order of the wing headquarters. Before receiving the formal order to stop bombardment, your mountain artillery must fire. If there are no shells, all the officers of your Ogawa team starting from Taixiang Ogawa and below will be stuffed into the cannon.
, shoot out!"
"Hi!" The Japanese captain lowered his head and stood at attention.
After Jiro Wakita turned his back again and the lieutenant colonel waved his hand slightly, the Japanese captain with a bitter look on his face quietly exited the wing.
It doesn't matter that the wing leader has gone crazy. What matters is how he spends this period of time when the artillery reserve is about to be exhausted and the baggage squadron has not yet arrived.
This was exactly what happened before Tang Dao woke up, so the officers and soldiers in the warehouse felt that the Japanese artillery bombardment had become weak. It was not that the Japanese artillery wanted to herd sheep, but that the landlords had no food left.
"Makino-kun, how is the digging of the underground tunnel that you ordered yesterday?" When the blind artillery squadron leader left, he put down the telescope in his hand and asked Wakita Jiro, whose face was so gloomy that it was almost dripping with water.
"Your Excellency, Captain, the soft soil layer in Songhu, China, is thicker. It is necessary to dig deeper into the hard soil layer to ensure sufficient support and prevent collapse. However, because Songhu has abundant rain and too much water, the division engineer wing is thinking
Find a way to drain the water." Japanese Lieutenant Colonel hurriedly reported.
"However, both tunnels have now been dug forward for more than 100 meters, and the entrances of the tunnels are tightly hidden in residential buildings and will never be discovered by the Chinese side."
"Yo Xi! Tell them for me that if this strategy succeeds, I will ask the division commander to take credit for them!" Hearing that the Engineer Regiment finally achieved some success, Wakiitajiro's face finally looked better.
As the saying goes, three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang! This is the idea that the Japanese commander discussed for a long time with a few fat grasshoppers on his vine yesterday afternoon.
Start digging a tunnel 600 meters away and continue digging until you reach the vicinity of the warehouse. Do not send troops to attack from the tunnel, otherwise they will be killed like a whack-a-mole.
Rather, the Chinese can use pre-planted explosives to blow up a building and bury an infantry squad, so why not treat them the same way they did?
The two tunnels don't need to be very close to the building, even if they are still about 20 meters apart. If 1,000 kilograms is not enough, then 2,000 kilograms will be used.
There is no need to work hard on the solid building of Sihang Warehouse and directly destroy its foundation. The stronger the construction on the ground of Sihang Warehouse, the heavier it is and the faster it will collapse.
As for the concession opposite, after being beaten to a black and blue face by the Chinese defenders yesterday and stabbed severely at night, Ding Xiaohuahua’s Japanese commander no longer had to worry about so much. He just wanted to ensure that his bullets and artillery shells would not hit him.
Other air waves or flying stones are no longer controllable by him.
It has to be said that if it can be implemented smoothly according to the plan, this is a very vicious trick.
Not to mention that it can collapse the Sihang Warehouse Building, I am afraid that the seismic waves generated by the explosion alone can kill half of the people on the first floor.
The biggest difficulty here is not that we are afraid of being discovered by the Chinese, but that the soft soil in Songhu is a headache.
But now it seems that the excellent civil engineering skills of the Japanese engineers have overcome this biggest problem. It is strange that Wakibajiro is unhappy.
During this period, the Japanese Army dared to claim the title of No. 1 in Asia, and it really wasn’t just a matter of blind self-confidence. They had the most complete industrial system and military training system in Asia at this time. From equipment to various techniques and tactics, they were the best in the East today.
The best.
Including seemingly inconspicuous civil engineering operations, not only the Japanese army's professional engineers, but also ordinary infantry, their performance on the battlefield is amazing.
If the battle that took place more than two years in the future, in which nearly 10,000 troops under the command of a red commander galloping around the battlefield besieged hundreds of Japanese troops and still failed to fully demonstrate the effectiveness of the Japanese army's civil engineering work, then the numbers
Years later, at the Battle of Songshan Fortress in the southwest jungle, even arrogant Westerners were dumbfounded by the level of Japanese civil engineering work.
The Chinese side had more than 15,000 troops fighting, while the defending Japanese troops only had 1,200 troops. This was more than ten times the strength comparison. Moreover, at that time, the Chinese side had far surpassed the Japanese troops in terms of heavy firepower, and they also had bombers to assist them. Compared with today's Battle of Sihang Warehouse,
The comparison between China and Japan is even more disparate.
But the final outcome made the Chinese generals shed tears. Although more than 1,200 Japanese troops in the fortress were wiped out, only one Japanese soldier survived by chance, but the price paid by the Chinese side was 6,000 casualties. The casualty ratio reached a level that would make any commander
Thirty-eight percent heartbroken.
The Japanese army during this period was definitely China's most formidable opponent, no matter in terms of equipment, techniques, tactics or fighting will.
Otherwise, China, with the same hatred of the enemy and the whole people fighting against the war, also made countless sacrifices, which shattered the Japanese army's theory of quick victory and dragged the war into a long stalemate period, relying on its vast territory and huge population base for war potential.
, it took nearly ten years to exhaust the entire war potential of Japan bit by bit.
This is the result of strategic mistakes made by Japanese high-level officials.
As the Little Butterfly Tang Dao from the future, he knows this better than anyone in this era.
Facing such a terrifying opponent and becoming the winner of the final battle to defend the country, the Chinese military and civilians did not know what a heavy price and suffering they had to pay.
Just like the defense battle before them, the Japanese will never accept defeat willingly.
However, it is just that the soldiers come to block the water and cover it with the earth.
Tang Dao in the warehouse has already smelled the strong smell of conspiracy from the Japanese army through the smoke of the Japanese artillery which has weakened but is still stubborn and has not stopped.
